We move through the haze of the day-to-day
locked in the world barraged by the mad
the sad
the desperate
the hate
and I sit in the darkness of the morning
aware of the light that will soon rise
and give prayer that it falls down upon
the empty souls.
I gaze at the clouds above my head
perhaps seeing symbols and images
anything that strikes my fancy at the moment
the happy
the light
the carefree
the love
and I feel so very blessed as I stand below
the great creation that is,
to give thanks for a beautiful day.
How often we just move
robotic and not so fluid through each moment
when one small change can move mountains
and one smile can bring joy,
but to take that step, that leap
now that is what must happen for the change,
the gift of embracing these days
and to turn them into what they should be
as we shape-shift cloud thoughts
and move them into creation of self
with the gifts we have received,
that we give thanks for what it is that brings lightness,
that we give prayer for healing
in this not so nice world,
I turn away from the darkness
and embrace the light I find,
where I find it
and then give it away
to those in need,
because I believe in better days,
one hour, one minute at a time
I will wait
and I will be gifted this second, this day,
this beautiful time I am in
as I choose it
it shall be.
I choose today to spread joy and happiness in this world where I awaken to darkness each morning, where we go through the motions of living meager lives just accepting that it is what it is. I am choosing to seek the light within myself, to give pause and be cognicent of what I am doing with each moment I am given, what food and amount I am eating (not ingesting purely for the sake of it), and this week has been a wonder. Just changing little things, going for a walk after dinner with the girls to watch the goings on in the neighborhood and feeling the cooling night air surround me, I’ve lost a pound and a half after losing nothing for 7 months (almost 8). I feel good, I’m having fun because it’s what I choose, and turning off the negative news as that is what I also choose. Life is good. Spend time wisely, put down the Facebook and the games and look within to deal with what’s there, instead of escaping the reality. Two weeks without, getting writing done, waiting for the job to take off and ready to fly my friends, so very ready! Join me, what have you done to change things up in your life to bring more joy in this time? Peace and lots more peace, Kim
Peace, Love and Patchouli
